Abstract

This research aims to analyze the application of health law in the Class II B Penitentiary in Sleman to Prisoners with dangerous infectious diseases in the perspective of Human Rights. The author in writing this journal uses empirical legal methods with a sociological juridical research model. This research is descriptive in nature using a qualitative approach. As part of Indonesian citizens, prisoners have human rights as constitutional rights that must be given and protected by the state. The right to health is an important part of human rights, but the granting of health rights especially for prisoners with dangerous infectious diseases is not yet optimal. Many obstacles faced by the Penitentiary to make health efforts. The most significant obstacle and the significant impact of creating other barriers are the problem of over population in prisons or overcrowding and application of health laws that have not been properly implemented.
